Gun Violence Prevention Task Force

Research on underlying causes of Gun Violence
Anne Thompson

The Brookings Institution email newsletter this week contains a opinion piece with concrete suggestions and case studies for dealing with the issue of gun violence.


"By investing in critical community safety infrastructure before the next rise in gun violence, communities will be better supported and equipped to avoid such violence, while also averting the intergenerational consequences that accompany punitive responses to it."
